Resolves : a duple century
Resolves: a duple century is a 1636 London collection of moral essays by Owen Felltham, printed for Henry Seile and sold at the Tigres-head in St. Paul's Churchyard, aimed at general readers of conduct and ethics. The pictures are small woodcut ornaments: a winged cherub flanked by scrolling foliage in a printer's headpiece, and two decorative initial letters, one an I built from leafy vines and the other an I with fleshy acanthus scrolls and stippled shading, offering designers historic blackletter-era border and initial motifs.
